Very responsive, easily understood, available when needed. This has made a big difference in the success of our use of Bright Idea.

The tool allow to manage complex innovation program both involving employees and external actors such as start-ups etc. It is extremely flexible and it scales with the ambition of any innovation team.

Speed of being able to spin up new sites is fantastic - if you're not looking to customise much it's quite simple to get a professional looking site up quickly.

BrightIdea is a great software for innovation and collaboration.

The customisability of the product. Some features are quite rigid and hard to customise.

Very user-friendly and graphically pleasing- good customization options. Best product and license structure for the price especially compared to Hype and Spigit.

Ease of implementation, support, single sign on (SSO) integration.

Great training sessions, flexible to our needs and great customer support. Only great things to say about this company.

Amazing API library that allows both to integrate new functionalities as well as other third party systems.

Truth be told: I do hate it's chat mechanism. All the users, the team and I just can't get it, so we communicate via email.

Bright idea is extremely intuitive and easy to setup. We use it for multiple use cases.

We were able to save tens of millions of dollars in cost avoidance due to the creative and impactful ideas that were submitted by employees all around the company.

There are too many widgets and options to configure. Lack of templates slows the configuration process down.

Easy to setup and use, ability to push innovation not only with your team, but also with external comunities.

Finally, Customer Service. The team is outstanding.

Brightideas offered an incredibly rich and robust platform that allowed our Innovation Team to create a method for our employees to share their ideas to management.

Otherwise, the Brightidea team has been able to solve any other problems that came up.

MindMeister is a fantastic MindMapping tool. Very useful for brainstorming new ideas.

The mind map method is a great way to visualize projets and the fact that you can collaborate is the best way to use it.

And in the end I had a beautiful map of how everything should like and what I had to do.

All the advantages and freedom of traditional brainstorming, with the digital advantages of an unlimited canvas and redos. Great UI, and reliable response time.

Finally: A digital, visual, FUN way to effectively organize and boost productivity.

Good integrations - e.g. Microsoft Teams. Can publish maps to public library, embed on website or share as editable or view only.

This is a great tool that will enable you to use it the same way you did on paper. It also has a very cool feature of presentation, which allows for the gradual opening of the mind map.

But for anyone the ability to map websites or have a visual project map it is the best. At work I pay for the extra features, which are well worth it.

It's taking me weeks to learn and wasting the time I need to plan out the actual lessons and develop materials.

Ever since I stumbled upon this website, it's surprised me to know of it's existence. There can be improvements but i'm glad to use and recommend this to others.

It's easy to use and easy to co-work. I can work with my colleagues on MindMeister perfectly.

Great tool, will continue to use it. Would like to move to a subscription to use its full potential, but struggle to accept the price point (just yet).

I found this software so easy to use and you can create the most incredible mindmaps. I love all the wonderful additions where you can incorporate costings, web links and notes.

If ever I want to jot new mind maps and feel active again then I can just renew my subscription. So that's a really flexible way to use the product.

The mindmapping concept works and I am happy with the software reliability.

At school right now we are being forced to use platforms the district already bought and they are clunky and do not have comparable features.

Absolutely no learning time so you get get started 'straight from the box. Also love the integration across devices making it easy to pick things up and put things down.

I like very much because it's integrated with canban software, the Meister Task, so what I draw in the mind mapping would transfer to the canban software. Very practical and useful.

Compatibility and user friendly interface. Free even Trial version covers great amount of necessary tasks.

Limited features and all others to purchase ( costly ).

I really appreciate integration with services like Evernote, Dropbox and Google Drive.

But using MindMeister is quite fun actually (my friend recommended this to me last year). It's suitable for someone who doesn't like complex things like me :D.
